Headphone comparison

Pretty much, and they're not that great for gaming. SR850 would be my choice as they are more open. The HD 681 EVO isn't a bad choice either. I think they are Semi-open, but they have a lot of favorable reviews.

um that is so subjective it is stupid, I've gamed with them fine with action and sports games, I just played Batman Orgins last week with them and you can hear every punch and thud and it sound amazing. Why don't you actually try them and form your own opinion on them instead of listening to what a couple other people say? They are monitors, so they aren't going to sound the best on every explosion but they have a flat curve and its on purpose so they don't sound like crap with every EQ you adjust.---Intel i5 2500k|8GB G.Skill RJaws|VelociRaptor, WD Fals|AsRock z68 Extreme4 G3|Sapphire 2GB 6970 OC'd |Corsair 520W PSU|Corsair 500R, K90, M95|ASUS Designo IPS

No that would go to all the idiots that think beats are good. And I'd suggest the Phillips fidelio l1 currently its 122$ on amazon as its discontinued normally its 299$ great headphones.---If its elitist to want decent performance, accountability, and class knowledge from the people you play with...

Every headphones are good in scenarios when sound doesn't affect your performance.But for example try playing CS without real good surround sound heaphones, having them increases your performance.---PSN: GunmaN1905

Sorry, didn't think I had to specify competitive gaming. I have tried them. They're decent, but they are a lot of hype. The CAL sounds better IMO for less money. They also aren't monitors. They have a V or U shaped sound signature depending on who you talk to.

Lastly, the Phillips X1 and various Beyerdynamic headphones can be found under $300 and will stomp all over the M50s. If you can find them for under $90 and you're looking for a "fun sounding" closed can for casual use, they're a decent buy. I'd personally suggest the CAL which generally retails for less.

AKG K550? Although having picked up a pair for only £85 (about $140) does add quite a bit of extra value for me personally.Mind you, some peopel find them uncomfortable to wear for long durations. Keep that in consideration if you're going to look at the K550.---How do you ejaculate from plane? I try to press the buttons but I do not find it. Sorry for my bad english - Bean0

Bought a pair 5 years ago and honestly, wasn't impressed with the sound quality. I used for an e-drum setup so I guess it was the lack of bass response that disappointed me.---Glorious God Gamers > PC Master Race > Console Peasants ---> http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/508/644/9eb.jpg

As would any number of offerings from Beyer Dynamic, AKG, etc. Hell, right now you can get HiFiMan HE-400's for $299.00 from their website and they would absolutely destroy those.---Console war in a nutshell:http://imgur.com/xA6GJZ9.png
